SAN FRANCISCO—Utah freshman sensation
MyKayla Skinner continues to rewrite the conference record books with her seventh Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week award. She was also named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week for a fifth time after leading Utah to a 197.500-197.275 win over Stanford last Friday.
Â
Skinner has nearly doubled the previous single-season record for Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week honors (four, set by several gymnasts) and has set Utah's
career record in her first season. In addition, she is one win away from tying the conference record for Pac-12 Freshman of the Week awards and owns the school record outright.
Â
Skinner won four of the five individual titles against Stanford (tying with teammate
Baely Rowe for the all-around) and scored the first perfect 10.0 on the floor in the Pac-12 this season. Skinner and Rowe's 39.650 all-around scores were the best in the country last week. Skinner also won vault (9.95) and bars (9.95) against Stanford and remains undefeated this season in the all-around and on vault.
Â
She has 34 victories this season of a possible 45 titles and has moved into seventh place on Utah's single-season win chart. She is tied for third all-time at Utah for all-around wins in a season with nine.
